We use resources sparingly and avoid the emission of harmful greenhouse gases. Since its founding in 1999 as a spin-off of Velokurier Luzern, swissconnect has never possessed its own transportation (bicycle, train, car, etc.), but rather has always fallen back on existing resources. This mean, for example, that the railways are used for long-distance deliveries and we work together with local companies such as bicycle or taxi couriers for local deliveries. Cars, delivery trucks or lorries are used only in remote areas and for large and heavy consignments. This unique combination of the most sensible transport method in each case guarantees not only the quickest but also the most ecological deliveries in Switzerland. This way, vast amounts of the harmful greenhouse gas CO2 are saved. In close collaboration with Swiss Climate, swissconnect has developed a CO2 calculator that shows the amount of CO2 saved in every delivery thanks to the unique swissconnect transport system. This amount is compared to the conventional delivery variant in which a car is driven from the sender to the recipient and back again empty.
